Patience: The Virtue That Saves
Patience is a virtue. It takes some character to exhibit such levels of moral
excellence, but did you know that by doing so, you could save money at the same
time? Read on to find out how you can economize by emanating the virtue of
patience.
Have the patience to walk instead of drive. It saves you gas, parking and the
stresses of driving. Walking improves your health and well being while saving
gas money.
Be patient: compare before you buy. From personal clothing to health club
memberships, from plumbing services to insurance plans, from car accessories to
a new home; compare the offers of 3 to 5 suppliers or service providers before
finally settling with one. Let them know that you are taking the time to search
the market and they may just be able to offer you the best savings. Truly, the
patient consumer is a winner!
Use coupons as much as possible. Be patient in cutting them out and going
through them before making any purchase. Pack them together with your grocery
bag or in the car so you can use the discount voucher at every opportunity. One
can save $20 - $50, just by using the coupons.
Track your expenses. Have the patience to keep your receipts and record all your
expenses, no matter how small or frequently they occur. By doing so, you are
made aware of where every single penny goes. Furthermore, you will know when you
have spent too much on clothing, when in fact you still need to settle your
credit card balance, or pay the mortgage. You will have a better hold of your
financial health, by patiently tracking your finances.
Hold-off and sleep on it! If you are about to purchase a $100 item, hold off the
purchase until you’ve given it much thought, say sleeping on it for 1-2 nights.
If after such time, you decide that you absolutely need and can afford the
purchase, then go ahead. Nevertheless, you’ll be surprised at how much you can
save by just sleeping and thinking things over.
Devote money in long-term investment. Understand that when you take up long-term
investment, you do not need the money for now, and it is not considered as part
of your daily finances. However, such money when set-aside will reap great
rewards in the future.
Exude moral excellence by patiently saving for years to come, starting today!
